H&M STYLE DIARIES PART VII

Holiday party season is the perfect time of year to catch up with friends, spend time with family and – you know – be jolly and spread some joy. It also serves as a superb occasion to stand out fashion-wise.

Over the last four months, the California-based surf rock band The Atomics have hosted #HMStyleDiaries, where they’ve picked and styled their favourite pieces from H&M’s Divided range. We caught up with the modelling and music making siblings in LA.

DAISY CLEMENTINE

• Daisy is 21, a model and the lead guitarist in The Atomics. She lives in Los Angeles

WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE THING ABOUT THIS LOOK?
“The jacket! I love the colours and how it lays. It reminds me of fish scales and mermaids, so of course I’m obsessed.”

THE FESTIVE SEASON IS APPROACHING. WHAT WILL BE YOUR GO-TO LOOK FOR UPCOMING PARTIES?
“I really like to mix it up and have different looks for each party. I'm really into dark lipstick right now and different textures like velvet or fur or leather, so I think I will incorporate a lot of that into my looks.”

IF YOU GOT TICKETS TO TRAVEL ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. WHERE WOULD YOU GO?
“I would love to go somewhere like Spain or Greece. I've never been to either of those places but they seem so dreamy and have always been on my bucket list.”

LUCKY BLUE

• Lucky is 18 and one of the world’s most successful male models. He plays the drums in The Atomics and lives in Los Angeles

WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE THING ABOUT THIS LOOK?
“I really like how simple it is. It's cool and casual.”

TELL US ABOUT A GOOD DATE NIGHT DURING THE HOLIDAYS?
“There's this really great restaurant in Los Angeles called Yamashiro. It sits on top of a hill where you can see all of the city. You can see Christmas lights and a giant Christmas tree at Hollywood and Highland!”

WHAT’S THE ONE ITEM YOU CAN’T BE WITHOUT THIS WINTER?
“A good turtleneck! It’s a great way to stay warm.”

PYPER AMERICA

• Pyper is 19, she models and plays the bass in The Atomics. She lives in Los Angeles

WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE THING ABOUT THIS LOOK?
“I love the sparkle and pattern of the top, it's very fun but also chic. I feel like it's something you can dress up but also has the perfect amount of pop in a casual outfit.”

WHAT THREE SONGS ARE ON TOP OF YOUR PLAYLIST RIGHT NOW?
“Don't Touch My Hair by Solange, Last Dance by Rhye, and These Walls by Kendrick Lamar.”

THE HOLIDAYS ARE APPROACHING. WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS?
“I plan to spend as much time with the ones I love as I possibly can! Also, eating really good food, laughing and cuddling.”
